Record and post your persuasive speech related to your topic. Note: the time limit for this speech is 5–7 minutes. Many of the aspects of your persuasive speech are the same as for your informative speech. The difference, however, is that you are attempting to persuade your audience to think a certain way or to take some sort of action: Your introduction should engage your specific target audience specific to your topic. Your introduction should possess a single, purposeful thesis that previews the main points of your speech. After the introduction, the body of your speech should have clear main points and smooth transitions between them that continue informing the audience on your topic. Present your speech with relevancy, and credibility. Use effective logical and emotional appeals to enhance your attempts to persuade the audience. Use your voice tone, inflection, and volume appropriately. Use eye contact, facial expression, hand gestures, and other body language smoothly and appropriately in line with your words. Any other visual aids should be used appropriately as well. In your conclusion, be sure that you relate back to the main points and provide a memorable final statement. For this assignment, you will be asked to provide 3-5 references.
